UStretch

A versatile uniaxial benchtop mechanical tester for biomaterials

The UStretch is not limited to dry, vertical testing with bulky specimen grips. It is capable of both vertical and horizontal testing in or out of a temperature-controlled media bath. They system also has a wide range of specimen attachments including screw-driven clamps, spring-loaded clamps, and multi-point puncture grips.

Key Features

High-performance actuator with inline load cell

High-resolution CCD imaging with image-based strain measurement tools

Several attachment options including patented BioRakes for fast and reliable specimen mounting

Imaging System

Optional imaging system and analysis software allows images to be analyzed to verify specimen strains and strain uniformity.

What Our Customers Are Saying

Don’t just take it from us, let our customers do the talking!

We regularly use both the Biotester and UStretch in our lab for mechanical testing of intervertebral disc tissue. Both systems use similar mounting fixtures and software, making working between the two systems seamless, yet each system offers unique testing solutions. We have been very pleased with both the ease of developing test protocols and with the quality data Cellscale products afford.

We started working with the Cellscale UStrech 3 years ago to determine biomechanical properties of eye cornea. The handling of the device is easy and processing acquired data is very convenient. The customer service has been excellent, and they are very helpful.
